"(We're Gonna) Rock Around The Clock" - Bill Haley And His Comets

(June thru Aug. 1955, highest chart pos. #1 Hot 100 & Cash Box)

Kicking off my show with a timely tune, the granddaddy of all

rock 'n' roll songs, "(We're Gonna) Rock Around The Clock"

by Bill Haley And His Comets. The clock rocker was a

smash hit and best seller on both sides of the Atlantic.

Hard to believe that the now-famous song started

out in obscurity as the B side of Haley's single!

Hi everyone, I'm Dorothy
"Dot" Everest, one of the
stars of The Tick, the TV

series that has critics
raving, nominated for
a Saturn Award in the

category of "Best New

Media Superhero Series."

You've heard of the

Blue Man Group and

"The Little Blue Man."
The Tick is a big man

dressed in a bright blue

costume. (Don't ask.)

Nearly invincible,
The Tick is a super
hero who fights

underworld crime

to save the city.

Arthur Everest is the Tick's nervous, nerdy sidekick,

and I'm Arthur's sister, well, more like his mother

because I am always looking out for him.

I have my

brother's back

and an angel's

face, but don't

let my looks

fool you.

I'm no cream puff.
When the chips

are down... I'm

one tough cookie.

(See what I did there?)

By day I am an ordinary, hard working EMT.

By night I reveal my secret

identity as a crime fighting

vigilante heroine on Team

Tick. I am equipped with
a superpower, a unique
time management skill
they don't teach in Tony
Robbins seminars. Let's
just say I have mastered
the five second do-over.
I'm breaking way badass,
so evildoers beware.

I will not fail my brother.

I will not fail my city,

and I will not fail you

the listener. Beginning

now, this very second,

I'll turn back the clock

to bring you some of
the best sounds of the

20th and 21st centuries.

I am also proud to let you know that Shady Del Knight

has picked me to become the latest member of his

Shady Bunch DJ team on S-P-M-M Retro Radio.

Today I'm bringing you a sneak preview of

my new show which will be called

7 on the Dot - TICK TICK TICK...

- 7 songs in a row and every one of them about

marking time or the passing of time -
past, present and future.

You're in Dot's time zone

and the clock is ticking.

From this moment on it's more

music with less tock Get it? 😝

It might be a 5 o'clock world... but there's something

special about "Six O'Clock." Here to explain are

John Sebastian and The Lovin' Spoonful!

"Six O'Clock" - The Lovin' Spoonful

(May/June 1967, highest chart pos. #17 Cash Box/#18 Hot 100)

Flashing back to the spring of 1967,

that was John Sebastian along with

his jug-band pop and folk rock group

The Lovin' Spoonful and their top 20

hit "Six "O'clock," a record that

brushed the top 10 in Canada.

There might be something special
'bout "Six O'clock" but wait a minute.

In fact... wait six hours, because...

"After Midnight" we're gonna let

it all hang out. So sings Eric

Clapton in his 1970 cover
of he J.J. Cale song!

"After Midnight" - Eric Clapton

(Nov./Dec. 1970, highest chart pos. #13 Cash Box/#18 Hot 100)

Hot on the chart at the end of 1970

and the start of '71, that was Eric

Clapton with one of his signature

songs, "After Midnight," a cover

of the J.J. Cale song originally

released in 1966.

If you're just tuning in, I'm Dot

Everest from The Tick and this

is a sneak preview of my new

S-P-M-M radio show coming

next year to Shady's Place.

It's a 7-in-a-row nonstop

blockbuster, so let's get

right back to the music.

Listen! Can you hear the
TICK TICK TICK?

If you've got the time, I've got
the tune. It's the gospel-tinged
soul of The Mighty Clouds Of

Joy with our next pertinent
platter-- "Time!"

"Time" - The Mighty Clouds Of Joy

(Oct./Nov. 1974, highest chart pos. #32 R&B/#102 Bubbling Under)

All we need is just a little

more time. Ain't it the truth,

though? Those gentlemen

are The Mighty Clouds of

Joy, an L-A based gospel

group that crossed over

the bridge to the secular

side and achieved hits

on the soul and disco

charts in the mid 70s

with "Mighty High,"

"Mighty Cloud Of Joy"

and the song I just

played for you- "Time."

The Charleston was once the rage. History has turned a page.

A sign of the times and a sound of the times from Sonny and

Cher who remind us that the show and the beat goes on.

"The Beat Goes On" - Sonny And Cher

(Feb./Mar. 1967, highest chart pos. #6 Hot 100/#7 Cash Box)

What a cool couple! That

was Sonny & Cher making

a convincing run at the

top 5 in 1967 with the

time referencing song

"The Beat Goes On."

Released around Halloween

in 1982, "The Day Before

You Came" is one of ABBA's

last singles. At Christmas that

year, the Swedish super group

sang the song in Germany on

the TV series Show Express.

"The Day Before You Came" - ABBA

(Oct. thru Dec. 1982, highest chart pos. #32 UK/#2 Finland,

#3 Sweden, Belgium & Netherlands, live performance on

Show Express on West German PBS station ZDF, Dec. 1982)

That was "Aggie" - Agnetha Fältskog - singing lead for ABBA on

"The Day Before You Came" on German TV.  The record went
top 3 in four European countries, brushed the top 30 in the

UK and was released in the U.S. only as a DJ promo.

By the way, at nearly 6 minutes "TRT" - total run time, "The Day
Before You Came" it is ABBA's second longest single, after "Eagle."

Before I go, I wanna invite you to watch my

TV series The Tick on Amazon Prime Video.

If you haven't seen it yet, it's high time you did.

Oh darn... look at the clock.

Baby baby baby, we're out of time.

Dot's all folks - I gotta dash.

(See what I did there?)

I hope you enjoyed

new radio series

"409" - Beach Boys

#76 Hot 100, B side of "Surfin' Safari")

 ZAP! YOU'RE  MORGANIZED!  

Smoking the tires and peeling off the

starting line, The Beach Boys getting

your motor running with "409," the

charting B side of their first big

hit-- "Surfin' Safari."

Good Morgan, Boss Angeles...

and good Morgan to you wherever you are!

I'm Robert W. Morgan, one of the boss jocks

at 93 KHJ, the much more music station in

Los Angeles, moonlighting as a member of

The Shady Bunch here on sister station

S-P-M-M. I'm on a mission to get you

Morganized by playing the greatest

sounds of the sensational 60s.

Speaking of surfin'... this next duo rose to fame alongside the Beach Boys.

Like Brian Wilson's group, they had a string of hits in the surf rock and

hot rod categories and you're about to hear one of those exciting sounds.

It's the title song from the film that starred Fabian, Tab Hunter, Shelley

Fabares and Barbara Eden. Jan And Dean-- "Ride The Wild Surf!"

"Ride The Wild Surf" - Jane And Dean

(Oct. 1964, highest chart pos. #16 Hot 100/#23 Cash Box,

from Aug. 1964 film Ride The Wild Surf)

Robert W. in the Morgan, and that was "Ride The Wild Surf," the title song from

the beachy keen surfing film released in the summer of 1964. The song was written

by Jan Berry, Brian Wilson and Roger Christian and performed by Jan and Dean.

Wild Surf has been called the best Hollywood surf movie of the 1960s. Unlike

typical beach movies that have goofy characters and are played for laughs...

Ride The Wild Surf takes an honest, sincere approach to the sport of surfing.

Some say The Beau Brummels were America's first folk-rock band.

In 1965 the Frisco group went on Hullabaloo and performed their

latest single, and here it is now-- "Don't Talk To Strangers!" 

"Don't Talk To Strangers" - The Beau Brummels

(Nov. 1965, highest chart pos. #52 Hot 100/#53 Cash Box,

perf. on Sept. 27, 1965, ep. of Hullabaloo) 

Those were The Beau Brummels doing one of their classic songs

"Don't Talk To Strangers," a great sound that never even made

the top 50, because the band's label, Autumn Records, was

going belly up at the time of the single's release.
